Howdy,
Kent here, Owner of the Yahoo Group Sunfish_Sailor. We have been notified by Yahoo that they will be deleting Files, Photos and most everything else from all Yahoo Groups by the end of October. Email functionality will remain but all Conversations will be deleted, so I'm not sure what is really left after they are done getting rid of everything else?
I have downloaded the Files section, and am working on the Photo Albums. I will keep those in Dropbox for a bit. Not sure what I can do about the 17,753 messages. I am chatting with a Sailing Forums admin about moving some of the info over to this Sunfish Forum, increasing the content on the Sunfish Forum Knowledge Base page. I have also created a new account at SunfishSailor groups.io Group to archive the Files and Photos. I paid for a Premium Membership, by doing so gio is supposed to move over Files, Photos and Conversations over the next few weeks. I have no idea what the workspace will be like once that is done, at a minimum I hope it becomes a backup to this Forum. Other ideas are welcome.
Wayne (sail231) started Sunfish_Sailor back in 2000, Keith had it for a bit and he turned it over to me about 6 years ago. Fortunately I have seen a lot of cross posting over the years and most of the content is duplicated, with the exception of the photos.
If you have any favorite threads over there or want some of the files and photos, I suggest grabbing them now.
Thank you everyone who helped build Sunfish_Sailor, let's keep its spirit alive here and in other venues!
Sincerely,
Kent and Audrey
